There are more families relying on food support from charities than ever before. The Trussell Trust - which runs food banks across the UK - said they have had to provide around 2,600 food parcels a day to children whose families are struggling to afford food during the coronavirus pandemic. Food banks are a bit like supermarkets, but everything is free. They are for people who struggle to afford to buy enough food to eat. The charity said that demand for food almost doubled compared to last year. These figures could be much higher as they are just one charity helping with food parcels. It come just days after the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, changed his mind on the decision to not provide food vouchers to children on free school meals during the holidays after campaigning by footballer Marcus Rashford. Newsround has been to meet three children who rely on the vouchers and support from charities.
